Setting up the network drive for your CS 101 projects:
This is a convenient way to access your files on the euclid.nmu.edu server, but things have to get set up for the first time. The main drawback is that you have to use VPN to access it.
To set it up in Windows (only need to do this once):
- Start "Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client"
- Follow the prompts and enter your NMU username/password to connect
- Go to "This PC" (or "My Computer" on older versions of Windows)
- Go to the "Computer" menu (or "Tools" on older versions) and select "Map Network Drive..."
- Under "folder" type in
\\euclid.nmu.edu\usernameCS101
(where username is your NMU username)
- Click "Finish"
- Put in your username and password to connect (the password I gave you, not your NMU password)
- Now you can just double-click that new network drive and log in when you need to access the server (though you will probably still need to activate VPN first)
To set it up in OS X:
- Install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client for Mac
- Run AnyConnect. You can do this by clicking the Launchpad (usually a multicolor chip or a rocket near the left end of the Dock), and typing
AnyConnect
in the search field. Once you run it, you may need to enter in nmuvpn5520.nmu.edu
for the server address.
- Either:
- Go to the Finder (usually a blue and white smile at the lower left), find the "go" menu at the top of the whole screen (not for that particular window), and select "connect to server"
- ...OR just hold down ⌘ and press
k
. This keyboard shortcut does the same thing.
- In the address box, type in
smb://euclid.nmu.edu/usernameCS101
and click connect (where username is your username), then log in. Check the username - the default might not be correct, and use the password I gave you, not your NMU password.
Once you are done, you will have access to a folder that both of us can see. All of your projects will go in folders in that location.
